But when I read about the silk batiste you found my heart started to pitter patter. I immediatley left your post and went to the website and order the silk batiste in black and white. (sorry, I was so excited. lol)<br /><br />I normally do not wear prints, but you peaked my intersted and I found a nice Liberty of London print for a sheath dress.
